  • Pass the "People's Budget"!
    The Congressional Progressive Caucus has an alternative budget plan that balances the budget sooner than the Republican/Obama compromise and does it in a way that all the polls say the majority of Americans want. Rather than reducing Medicare and Social Security benefits through privatization, it strengthens both. Google it.

  • Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush-should be tried for crimes
    The Executive Branch should not be above the law and the failure to prosecute Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush for both American and international war crimes convincingly says the Executive Branch is above the law and sets frightening future possibilities

  • Governing, Not Fundraising
    Elected officials spend the majority of their time raising money for re-election. To often re-election is their primary concern when deciding how to vote. Their vote can be influenced by fear of being challenged when they run for re-election.

  • Congressional Amendment
    Congress has become non-functional and is comprised of too many lobby-supported professional politicians. The time has come to take back our government, limit their terms in office, and elect those who reflect the will of the people.

  • Do Not Support The Florida (un)Fair Foreclosure Act
    The obscenely misleading name of this proposed legislation is offensive. There is nothing "fair" about this legislation at all. It is a bailout for the banksters and legalizes their crimes and fraud. It strips away basic rights to be secure in one's home and allows banks to circumvent our court system and judges.

  • Let's call it the "Republican Recession"
    The financial breakdown happened on the Republican watch and because of Republican de-regulating policies. The Republicans in Congress purposely keep the recession raging so they can a) use a shock doctrine technique to collapse government regulation even more, b) blame President Obama and regain the Presidency, the Senate and c) reward their corporate backers and promoters from Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court to the Koch Brother and Murdoch oligarchies.
